Coral Confession

I used to think that coral was an unusable color.  It was too 80's.  It was too girly.  It was too cruise ship.  It always made me think of the the coral and aqua Santa Fe colored upholstery on a love seat in my mom's old beauty shop.  And when I say "old" I mean 1985.  (So not really "old.)

So here's the scoop.  Now, I love it.  Thank you Christine and Jenny for making me see the light.  These two ladies are always posting pretty coral delights on their blogs and now I'm a fan.  I always see it used as a spring color, but I think it belongs with the golds, emeralds, browns, maroons and burnt oranges of autumn.  Coral is really a mood and a feeling unto itself.  Check it out...
